Question

What are pseudo first order reaction? Explain with example.​

Answer 1

$\large\bold\red{\underline{Answer :-}}$

Certain reactions which are expected to be of higher order follow the first-order kinetics. Such reactions are said to be pseudo-first-order reactions.

Example: Consider hydrolysis of methyl acetate. Explanation: The reaction was expected to follow the second-order kinetics, however, obeys the first order.

Answer 2

Answer:

A reaction which is expected to follow higher order kinetics, but follows first order.

this is pseudo first order reaction.
